CVE-2026-19481: @fastify/busboy vulnerable to Denial of Service via prototype-named multipart part header

October 2, 2026

Versions of @fastify/busboy from 1.0.0 and prior to 3.2.1 are vulnerable to a Denial of Service. The multipart header parser stores part-header names on a plain JavaScript object, so a part header named __proto__ or constructor resolves to an inherited value that is not an array, and the parser throws TypeError: this.header[h].push is not a function. Through the documented req.pipe(busboy) integration this surfaces as an error event, while direct write()/end() usage throws synchronously and can terminate the Node.js process if uncaught. The parser runs before application middleware, so any unauthenticated client that can submit multipart/form-data is affected.
